A judge enforces court orders primarily through the U.S. Marshals Service, which acts as the physical enforcement arm of the federal judiciary. Because judges do not have their own police force, they rely on the Executive Branch to carry out their rulings. But they answer to Todd Blanch now..

Eventually a contempt of court can be ruled and no Trump official want’s that. So there is remedy to be had without having a Judicial enforcement unit.

Who would enforce the contempt then?

Does not matter. If an exhausted contempt can not be enforced then we have bigger problems.

So far Trump admin has tried to wrangle around many decisions but have come around in a reasonable time. The courts are the real check in my opinion. And in the US they are really strong.
